Description
B 18a is a compact, self-powered LF extension for ARES 8 line arrays, enhancing the system’s low end response and directivity.

B 18a is fully compatible with the ARES 8 rigging system and can be flown alongside, on top of or behind ARES 8 elements, or deployed in ground stack / standalone configurations.
The B 18a features an advanced AUDIOFOCUS SCiO Class D amplifier module with integrated DSP and houses a long excursion 18″ neodymium driver, combining front diffusion, bass reflex, and transmission line design for ultimate efficiency and performance.
